Eluvianii Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 Thanks! Ok, so I did go back. No need to fight the final boss again or anything, you can load straight into the epilogue. So, wow. There is always another secret, huh. Spoiler Why did they hide this so well and how did people find it in the first place? And crap, she has a face. World ends in 3 years, huh. In that case Kuro gets us pretty darn close. So much that if there's really 3 arcs left, they'll need to happen within mere months of each other. It's not difficult to get the imagination going after hearing "Eternal Recurrence". Especially after Vita's words at the Infernal Castle. This isn't the first iteration for the Grandmaster is it? Is Zemuria growing in a lab? This scene did nothing to disprove the theory that Aidios is the Grandmaster, I'll be convinced before ever needing confirmation at this rate. How does Nayuta play into all of this? I need to play that. Welp, the wait for Hajimari just got a lot more unbearable. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong though. On the topic of Nayuta, Spoiler the Grandmaster seems to actually be a Nayuta character. She looks exactly like Creha Rem Ordin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to play that. Welp, the wait for Hajimari just got a lot more unbearable. Thanks. CS4 Spoiler I doubt the Grandmaster is Aidios. The Ouroboros higher ups of Loewe, Weissman, Arianrhod, and Vita refer to Aidios in reverential ways that wouldn't make sense if they knew that she was the grandmaster. From SC we know that Weissman had met the Grandmaster in person so it seems likely that the other Ouroboros higher ups knew her as well. Quote Loewe: Yes. The sword granted to me by the Grandmaster. Quote Loewe: I will pray for her safety, if it would not offend you. Loewe said this after he had turned against Ouroboros. If he had received a sword from the Grandmaster personally and thus knew who she was, and was now fighting against her plans, it makes no sense to pray. Quote I was something of an academic priest. A chance meeting with the Grandmaster led to me discarding the path of faith. Quote Arianrhod: May their souls find their way to Aidios. Quote Arianrhod: May we meet again... if the Goddess wills it. Quote Clotilde: The Goddess was on your side after all, hmm? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reveal hidden contents Loewe never turned on Ouroboros? Spoiler After Loewe's defeat atop Axis power, he begins blabbing to the protagonists all about the Gospels and the Aureole. Joshua asks him to help them fight against Weissman and prevent the Aureole from being used, and Loewe gives a teasing answer that makes Joshua laugh. That's when Weissman shows up and zaps him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briar King Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 Popping in. Spent a bit longer(of course) getting some fishing done. Got an extra 45 power and 20 fortitude on top of the many i collected before. I will sink a few into toons and proceed in a few moments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briar King Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 Popping in Omfg I’m wiped! Just spent 43:54 on a fight. I couldn’t stay on my feet with full party for a good majority of this thing, it was so frustratingly cray cray. I pulled it off finally after getting one of the two opponents down but that was hard indeed and depleted a lot of my item stock. Need a break for the 2nd phase so into rest mode the PS5 went lol. Will do that in a bit for sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weltall Posted April 7, 2022 Report Share Posted April 7, 2022 I return, and I bring Kuro II goodness from this morning's livestream. (spoilers for the first game should be fairly obvious) Spoiler - The mystery figure that transforms into Red Grendel has their own version of Mare and prior to transforming they can be seen holding the eighth and final Genesis. - Elaine mirrors Agnes' first meeting with Van right down to the way the camera cuts. Nice touch. - S-Craft cutins have returned (using the ingame engine rather than separate art), Field Battle looks smoother and now has a form of Arts casting, Command Battle has a new EX Chain mechanic. - Celis is confirmed as a combat character, whether she's fighting with us or against us is unrevealed. - A pair of new characters are introduced in the form of creepy twins who are probably associated in some way with D.G. (the thing behind them has a design that resembles cult markings) and Renne is confronting them in a second image. - Swin returns with a new outfit and seems to be in the Langport region. Nadia can't be far behind. Not too surprising given that 'C' sent Van a warning at the end of the last game and if we see more of Garden in the game it would make sense to bring back the members that got away. - Agnes is seen in an unknown location in one shot and Elaine is seen in Centre Marche (a ward within Edith that's mentioned but not seen in the first game) in another. Wouldn't surprise me if we get progressive opening up of new wards each Chapter the same way the first game did. - As mentioned earlier in interviews, fishing is back with new mechanics that seem a bit closer to Ys VIII, with the left stick altering the angle of the rod and Circle pulling back on it.

Briar King Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 Popping in Wait wait wait up…¡ yesterday I found out in CS4 that you could trade fishes in for even more droplets. This was a random find for me! Was this feature in CS3 to? If so boy oh boy did I miss out even more! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eluvianii Posted April 10, 2022 Report Share Posted April 10, 2022 I think it was. Thinking about it this game is generous with droplets even if you don't farm them, I think I had about 70 of each by the end. Sadly I forgot to use them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aneonfoxtribute Posted April 11, 2022 Report Share Posted April 11, 2022 (edited) I'm midway through chapter 1 of Kuro and my monkey brain neurons have activated. Spoiler Walter's back baby! I was surprised when his introduction had nothing to with Zin, instead it was just him literally strolling into Van's room. Also I love how Van knows, like, everyone and has even taken requests from Ouroboros members before. And then he's just chilling in the inn after the scene and you can just chat with him, like that isn't Enforcer god damn VIII.

Weltall Posted April 12, 2022 Report Share Posted April 12, 2022 And that is both Van and Calvard in a nutshell. xD 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler Prologue was just one dude, and Chapter 1 was a bunch of already dead people (though Van killing one of them himself was very raw and definitely a shakeup). But this actual bloodbath of NPCs and friends of a main character is unprecedented. The last time this happened was Azure with the ILF slaughter, and that was a bunch of faceless mooks, only one of which was relevant in retrospect. We didn't have reason to care with them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
